Personalisation can promote independence, dignity and respect. By allowing a service user to make choices about their care and support or about the clothes they wear, personal items they buy or the food choice we are promoting independence and dignity and we are also respecting the person’s right to make their own choices. This has a knock on effect and means that the individual can lead as normal life as possible while giving them the support they need in a care setting
Dip L.2 HSC 025 The role of the health and social care worker 1 Explain how a working relationship is different from a personal relationship (HSC 025 01-1) a working relationship is different from a personal one because of boundries, professional codes of conduct there are employer policies and procedures allthough in your working relationship you would be friendly and treat everyone with equality you would also know your role and responsibility, you wouldn't share personal information as you would a personal relationship. There perhaps is no emotional attachment and is primarily based around your job.

Know your team and let your team get to know you. Greet people sincerely; reach out to everyone on your team. Make yourself available, listen to understand, communicate clearly, directly, and honestly. Stand up for the excluded, forget about the chain of command, don’t micromanage, design your culture and treat your people as you would want your customers to be treated. Be clear about who’s responsible for what, Remember that responsibility and authority goes hand in hand, make every position count, get as flat as you can, eliminate overwork and rethink the meeting structure.
If you have a disagreement with a colleague, this would have to be resolved in a calm and professional manner, not letting feelings cloud your judgement. Whereas in a personal relationship feelings are the main component in the relationship not logic. Also in a professional relationship you must be conscious that people who you are working with may not have the same sense of humour or attitude as you may have, which means that you must be mindful of this when communicating with them. For me this is a key component of my professional and personal life as my partner who I live with works in the same setting as me, so I spent my day separating my personal life from my professional, we do cross paths but we have a rule that we do not talk to each other at work unless it is about professional duties/issues and another rule is that we can only talk about work on the journey to and from work, this just allows us to separate the professional and personal relationship. 1.2 Describe different working relationships in health and social care settings.
In a working relationship it is better to try to keep your personal opinions to yourself because It is a lot easier to work if you get on and don't have differences and tensions between you. A personal relationship is a lot easier to speak your mind as the person receiving it knows you well and wont get so offended. Aii Give two examples of different working relationships in an adult social care setting When talking to your co workers they normally can relate because they do the same work and normally know exactly what and who you are talking about. When talking to an agency worker or visiting doctor you would need to be more descriptive as they would not know the residents the same way you do. You would probably have to show them who the different individuals are too.
A bond is formed as the worker treats the client with unconditional positive regard and seems interested and may even be interested in the client’s life. The client begins to trust the worker and may disclose things they haven’t disclosed to anyone before. It is important for the worker to maintain professional boundaries such as, not meeting the client outside, not disclosing personal information about themselves etc as the relationship is easily confused for friendship by the service user. It is the responsibility of the worker to not blur the lines. Learning outcome 2 Be able to work in ways that are agreed with the employer.
To me this is inclusive practice and helps to stop discriminatory practice and respects the preferences of the resident. I find it frustrating when other carers decide for the resident to save time but to remain professional I would not talk to them about it in front of a resident and would stay calm when discussing the issue. I have been bought up in an environment where you always show respect even if you disagree with a person. I play a big part in the induction training of new carers. When carrying out this training I am careful not to push my own beliefs and attitudes onto the new carers and use the policies and procedures to explain the standards expected.
Above all else, I believe being a leader one has to make being at work fun. I think if you enjoy what you are doing and do not get up every morning hating to have to go work the employee becomes a more productive worker. I am a firm believer that if an organization treats their employee’s well they will be happier, loyal and more productive to the organization. I believe my leadership philosophies now and as a future leader will be a blend of autocratic leader, innovative leader, constant improvement leader, and a transformational leader. I know this is a lot of different philosophies of leadership, but I do not think there is just one type of leader and to be a good leader one needs to be open to learning new things.
Time management is a habit that can be used in the class room, work place, or in everyday life. Being able to manage your time wisely can help you with getting assignments turned in on time or just being on time to class in general. This will also reflect your attitude towards your superiors around you in letting them know you actually care enough about the task at hand that you want to have it turned in or have it done in the time given. Having a good management on time can always help in a future job place when wanting to prove that you are a good employee. Apart from having good work ethic and managing your time with what needs to be done, being responsible is a must.
